A highly used and facile method for applying graphene to a support membrane is by vacuum filtration, whereby the graphene is mixed well and suspended in a solvent, which is then filtered through the ...

Defects in two-dimensional materials (such as an atom-thick sheet of graphene) can dramatically alter the way that the ...

Writing in Nature Communications, a team from the University of Manchester led by Dr. Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo demonstrated fully scalable prototypes of graphene membranes capable of producing heavy ...

Dialysis membranes must balance two critical functions: allowing small molecules to pass through for removal while preventing the leakage of vital proteins. The team’s approach uses the unique ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute (NGI) have achieved a long-sought-after objective of electrically controlling water flow through membranes, as reported in ...

A recent study published in Small explores a new method to improve the stability of graphene membranes in transmembrane nanofluidic devices. Researchers applied a pyrene-based coating to strengthen ...

The membranes utilize graphene's customizable nanopores for precise filtration, with a novel method that transforms protein leakage into an advantage by sealing larger pores.

After a chemical etching of the nickel, the graphene membrane detaches and can be transferred to another substrate. This direct CVD synthesis provides high quality layers of graphene without ...

The study highlights how defects in graphene sheets alter rippling, offering insights for engineers in materials science and ...
